Two Songs that go really really well together are Both by Drake and Mercy by Kanye West. it SLAPS!
I love djaying because DJing to me is my audio diary. I attribute very specific memories and moments to virtually every song. I love to share and tell stories through my art and hope that other people who are experiencing my art resonate with it or make them feel something they wouldn't have. People may not always remember what you SAY, but they will always remember how you make them feel.

Beau the DJ
Two songs that go really well together: Disco Incorporated's "Freedom Good Vibes Mix" mixed into the extended mix of "Baby Baby" by Noizu
Why I love DJing: I love the human connection that DJs can facilitate in a space. It's what music can do for people - serving as a lynchpin to a particularly fond memory, acting as a social lubricant for interacting with that special someone, producing cathartic release while dancing with others or cementing a bond after a night of revelry with music to welcome the sunrise.

Zion I
Multi-genre specialist Zion I (a former duo that is now comprised of sole member Baba Zumbi) brings his eclectic blend of rap, rock, reggae and EDM to Stateline for a can’t-miss performance this weekend.
“Since the release of the debut album ‘Mind Over Matter’ in 2000, Zion I has risen up the ranks of independent hip-hop to solidify their standing as one of the most prolific conscious rap groups of the past two decades.
“Boasting a catalog that consists of over two dozen albums, EPs, mixtapes and collaborations, Zion I (currently consisting solely of MC/producer Zumbi) continues to create inspired music influenced by social and political woes, personal challenges and triumphs, as well as family, spirituality and a raw perspective on the world at large,” states Zion I’s online biography.
The artist’s latest full-length record, “The Labyrinth,” continues the trend and was “fueled by [Zumbi’s] own personal losses as well as the current political and social climate of the world at large,” according to the bio. Since this release, Zion I has dropped a handful of singles and EPs alike.
“Zion I continues to make music that, while left-of-center, is still relevant, fresh and exciting as ever,”

Ill-esha
For many years ill-esha has weathered the dynamic, often ephemeral soundscape of electronic music, simply by being an original. “I’m not really an observer. I’m very much a participant and a creator,” self-describes the Vancouver, British Columbia-born artist, songwriter, producer, and DJ. “Everything I do in my life, it quickly becomes way more than a hobby.” From growing up in the EDM hotbed of the Pacific Northwest, attending raves in her teens, ill-esha accelerated her musical passions to the fullest. “First I wanted to be part of this culture as a DJ, doing vocals and curating music. After that, I also needed to participate in the music I was playing,” referring to her progression as a producer and headlining performer. “I’ve just been moving one step up at a time over the years, into being this completely original show.”
